Scully's Thoughts #1 251K zipped, 611K unzipped

Scully: I came in search of something I did not believe existed. I've stayed on now, in spite of myself, in spite of everything I've ever held to be true. I will continue here as long as I can, as long as you're besat by the haunting illness which I saw consume your beautiful mind.

What is this discovery I've made? How can I reconcile what I see with what I know? I feel this was meant not for me to find, but for you, to make sense of, make the connections which can't be ignored. Connections which for me, deny all logic and reason.

What is this source of power I hold in my hand, this rubbing, this simple impression taken from the surface of the craft? I watched this rubbing take its undeniable hold on you, saw you succumb to its spiraling effect.

Now, I must work to uncover what your illness prevents you from finding. In the source of every illness lies its cure.

Scully's Thoughts #2 315K zipped, 752K unzipped

Scully: I feel you slipping away from me with every minute I fail here. What are the elusive meanings I cannot see that are hidden here? If I could understand it, know how it affected you, learn how to use its power to save you...

Scully's Thoughts #3 46K

Scully: The work here is painstaking, a slow and tedious piecing together. It appears to be a craft, its skin covered in the intricate symbols you and I both saw, but which I now understand are part of a complex communication.

Dr. Barnes has broken some of the symbols into letters using an ancient Navajo alphabet, and though it has helped to uncover some of what's here, it has also made for greater confusion.

On the top surface of the craft, I'm finding words describing human genetics. Efforts to read the bottom of the craft have been harder. Our workers were scared away by phenomena I admit I can't explain: a sea of blood, a swarm of insects. But what little we've found has been staggering - passages from the Christian Bible, from pagan religions, from ancient Sumaria. Science and mysticism conjoined. But more than words, they are somehow imbued with power.

I've ignored warnings to quit this work, remaining committed to finding answers, afraid only that our secret here won't last, and that I might be too late.

Extraterrestrial Origins 44K zipped, 115K unzipped

Fowley: I know what's happened to you. I know what you're suffering from. I've been sitting back and watching. I know you know. I know you know about me, that my loyalties aren't just to you, but to a man you've grown to despise.

You have your reasons. But as you look inside me now, you know that I have mine. Fox. Fox, I love you. I've loved you for so long. You know that, too. I won't let you die to prove what you are, to prove what's inside you. There's no need to prove it. It's been known for so long. Now we can be together.

More Alive 195K zipped, 737K unzipped

Scully: I have been on a plane for 22 hours. I have to see him.

Scully: What kind of trouble?

Skinner: I got this man Kritschgau involved.

Scully: Kritschgau?

Skinner: It's a long story, but it ended badly. They've got Mulder under security now, round the clock. I take full responsibility.

Scully: Responsibility for what?

Skinner: He can't even communicate, Agent Scully. They won't treat him because they don't know what's wrong with him! They said he was dying; I had to do something.

Scully: He's not dying.

Skinner: I'm afraid it's true.

Scully: He's not dying. He is more alive than he's ever been. He's more alive than his body can withstand. And what's causing it may be extraterrestrial in origin.

I've Found The Key 221K zipped, 843K unzipped

Scully: Mulder, it's me. I know that you can hear me. If you can just give me some sign. I want you to know where I've been, what I found. I think that if you know, that you could find a way to hold on. I need you to hold on. I found a key. The key, to every question that has ever been asked. (teary) It's a puzzle, but the pieces are there for us to put together. And I know that they can save you if you can just hold on. Mulder. Please. Hold on.

Only Part Of You Is Dying 166K zipped, 298K unzipped

CSM: Only part of you is dying - the part that played the hero. You've suffered enough, for the X-Files, for your partner, for the world. You're not Christ. You're not Prince Hamlet. You're not even Ralph Nader. You can walk out of this hospital and the world will forget you. Arise!

Your Account Is Squared 258K

CSM: I'm giving you a choice.

Mulder: What choice?

Mulder: I thought that you died for my quest.

Deep Throat: Yes - along with Scully's sister, and the man you thought was your father, and Duane Barry, and, and even Scully's mysterious illness, and on and on. You can let go of all that guilt. I'm here to tell you that you're not the hub of the universe, the cause of life and death. We - you and I - are merely puppets in a master plan, no more, no less. You've suffered enough. Now you should enjoy your life.

Little Joys 215K

Domestic Bliss 465K zipped, 808K unzipped

Mulder: Morning.

Fowley: What's wrong, Fox?

Mulder: There's nothing wrong. Perfect. It's all perfect. What the hell am I doing here?

Fowley: You just need some coffee.

Mulder: No...I'm, I'm serious. I have commitments - to the X-Files, to Scully, to my sister...

Fowley: You think you know what that means. Commitment. It's all just childish, Fox.

Mulder: Childish?

Fowley: Yes. You've been a child, with only the responsibility of a child - your own dreams and fantasies. But you won't know the true joy of responsibility until you plant your feet in the world...and become a father.

Mulder: Wow. Diana, you...you lay all this on me after I sleep with you one time. What's it gonna be like tomorrow?

Fowley: You have to let go, Fox.

Mulder: Just like that, I'm just supposed to slip into domestic bliss? Even after I was dropped off here by a man I have every reason to believe left here to carry on his dirty work.

Fowley: Hey. He lives the next block over. We'll go visit after breakfast.

Things Left Undone 140K

Extraordinary Men 281K zipped, 472K unzipped

CSM: A father has high hopes for his son, but he never dreams his boy is going to change the world. I'm so proud of this man, the depth of his capacity for suffering...

Fowley: Like father, like son.

CSM: They think what he has is killing him, but in actuality, he's never been more alive.

Fowley: Do you think he dreams?

CSM: Well, sure he dreams.

Fowley: About what, I wonder.

CSM: The dreams all men who are owned by the world have. A simpler life, full of small pleasures. Extraordinary men are always most tempted by the most ordinary things. Dreams are all he has now.

Hosteen: You don't know where he is?

Scully: Even if I did, I wouldn't know how to save him. This science makes no sense to me.

Hosteen: Have you looked for him...here?

Scully: Are you asking me to pray?

I'm Always Thinking 223K zipped, 379K unzipped

Scully: Where's Mulder?

Fowley: Maybe before you go around blaming everyone you can find for what's happened to Mulder, you could think about what you could've done to prevent it.

Scully: I just want you to think. Think of Mulder when you met him. Think of the promise and the life in front of him. Think of him now, and then try and stand there in front of me, look me in the eye, and tell me Mulder wouldn't bust his ass trying to save you.

Fowley: I'm thinking, Agent Scully. I'm always thinking.

Mulder: What do you mean?

Scully: Not in a comfortable bed, with the devil outside.

Mulder: No, you don't understand. He's taken care of me.

Scully: No, Mulder. He's lulled you to sleep. He's made you trade your true mission for creature comforts.

Mulder: There was no mission. There were no aliens.

Scully: No aliens. Have you looked outside, Mulder?

Mulder: I...can't. I'm...too tired.

Scully: No, Mulder. You must get up. You must get up and fight. Especially you. This isn't your place. Get up, Mulder. Get up and fight the fight.

I Know She Was Your Friend 188K zipped, 340K unzipped

My Touchstone 278K zipped, 479K unzipped

Mulder: Scully, I was like you once. I didn't know who to trust, and I...I chose another path, another life, another fate where I found my sister.

We're In Orange County 129K

Mulder: Yeah, what's your point?

Is That Brain Matter? 97K zipped, 261K unzipped

Mulder: Oh! Hello. Look at this. Does that look like blood to you?

But if there's anybody that can tell us about the Millennium Group, it's him - he used to consult for them. Later, he fought to bring them down at the expense of his own career and reputation.

Scully: Single-minded. Sounds like someone I know.
